The Shawnees and Deiawares
Of this nation doubtless find con-
siderable consolation in Commits
sioner Atkins letter to the sccreta-
ry Of the interior in regard to the
Joint commission provided for by
last council. The paragraph bear
ing on their case is as follows: The
Igoyision which provides for inves-
tigating and determining the rights
of Shawnees and Dclawares who
became citizens Of the Cherokee
Nation under agreement entered
into pursuant to the 10Th Article
Of the Cherokee Treaty of 1866,
should be stricken from the Act.
These agreements were entered in
70 in pursuance of treaty stipu-
lation, subject to the approval of
the President of the United States,
and when approved by him be-
came, in fact, a part of the treaty
and neither the Cherokee Nation
nor the United States has any
power to go behind those COM
pacts without the consent of all par
ties thereto, subject to ratification
by Congress.

HON ELI SPEARS.

The subject of this brief sketch
is more generally known through
out our country by reason of his
political rather than his social or
business relations with the people,
except in his immediate vicinity,
where common neighborly inter-
course. in deeds of charity, per-
sonal friendship and indiscrimi-
mating hospitality, gave evidence
of traits Of character far more in
dicatiye Of his true worth. A
mans political career, be it what
it may, is seldom in keeping with
the better qualities Of friend or
neighbor or with what he is out
side Of his political record.
Mr.. Spears, up to the time Of
his death, from his early manhood
has welded no little political inAu-
ence among those who personally
knew him and Tor a greater part
of his life occupied some Office in
the gift Of the people. During the
war Of the rebellion he was a
commissioned officer in the feder-
al army aud served to its close.
For a number of terms he was
elected TO the senate Of our nation
al council and although was, as is
commonly termed, silent mem
Der. nothing escaped his attention
or scrutiny. II no offered no
amendments himself 10 a bill that
was not in accord with his views,
amendments we're certain TO be
made In order that his disapproy-
al, quietly published might be
avoided, because II not in the sen
ate chamber made public, it other
wise had is influence.
He aspired not 81 the least to
the distinctions Of an orStor, but
controlled views Of public or po-

"CHARITY begins at home" is
the oft quoted remark from the
good book. But my pious friend,
you can't find excuse for your
selfshncss there, because if you
arc not as much an object of char
ity as your neighbor, the rule
won't work. You must be just a
little more an object than he for
such acts of benevolence befo re
you can console yourself with the
excuse that charity begins at your
own home. 1t may begin there,
but the good book don't say il
should end there. There is not
much genuine good feeling in such
thing, anyhow, because it some
how seems TO be more satisfactory
to be able to give than not to.
Most anybody is able to take, but
it requires no skunk of a fellow to
be able to give. Charity is a very
peculiar thing, because in its ap-
plication it depends upon the fix
a fellow is in. If you amt in the
right fix, so that it may fit your
case, it is only a gift and if every
body was above want there could
be no acts of charity or aims
irving.
